Preview: 2005 Ford Five Hundred - The Car Connection
Those who recall the concept car from which it borrows its name will find the 2005 Ford Five Hundred to be a very different vehicle. It's a much more sedately styled sedan than the flashy show vehicle. That reflects the conservative nature of the typical mid-size buyer, insists Ford Design Director J Mays.

To be perfectly clear, the 2005 Ford Freestyle should not be confused with the Ford Freestar, a minivan that replaced the Windstar and is already on sale as a 2004 model. The Freestyle, which goes on sale in autumn 2004, is what Ford calls a crossover but most people would consider a large wagon. The vehicle is closest in ideology to the Chrysler Pacifica, though the Freestyle offers three rows of seats standard, for seating of six or seven occupants depending on the second-row configuration chosen. The Freestyle and the related Five Hundred sedan are based on Ford subsidiary Volvo's S80 platform and share that vehicle's optional all-wheel drive as well as standard front-wheel drive. Prices are not set, but Ford promises to be highly competitive.

That's about to change. The 2005 Ford Five Hundred is compelling enough to bring sedan buyers back into the Ford fold, offering class-leading interior space, a giant trunk, an available all-wheel-drive system, and impressive safety systems. Without AWD, the 2005 Ford Five Hundred is a front-wheel-drive sedan with a six-speed automatic transmission. A continuously variable transmission (CVT) is included with the optional AWD, a Volvo design employing a Haldex limited-slip coupling to transfer engine torque rearward when the front wheels slip. Other Volvo influences include structural crush zones and side-impact protection that is based on the Swedish automaker's Side Impact Protection Technology (SIPS). The 2005 Ford Five Hundred comes in SE, SEL and Limited trims. Standard features include a power driver's seat, traction control, cruise control, tilt steering, keyless entry, air conditioning, power mirrors, power windows, power door locks, floor mats and a CD player. The SEL adds heated exterior mirrors, fog lights, chrome exterior bits, automatic headlights, a message center, a self-dimming rearview mirror, an outside temperature display, a fold-flat front passenger seat, an in-dash CD changer, an automatic dual-zone climate control and leather on the steering wheel and gearshift knob. Popping for the Limited nets the buyer additional exterior detailing, heated leather seating, an Audiophile sound system, trunk netting, a power passenger seat, a Homelink universal transmitter and special cream-colored gauges.
